A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

Excellent article.

I had a strong instinct that the word ‘crackdown’ was problematic - and now someone (with actual knowledge) has explained why.
Wrote last month about the media’s use of “crackdown” to legitimize and validate the regime’s occupation of opposition strongholds. It’s driving me insane.

In the West Wing the president’s daughter is kidnapped, and he *immediately* hands control to the VP, so that he *cannot* be blackmailed into making decisions against the country’s interest.

The Epstein files, and/or Russiagate, very likely compromise Trump.

HOW THE FUCK is he still in charge?

All agents of the State being documented abusing and/or killing people will be vulnerable if Trump is removed from office, as they will be open to prosecution. What Trump has done on top of everything else is guarantee these agents will fight to the death to keep him in power until he dies.

The brief but iconic role of Jill Masterson in the 1964 #JamesBond film “GOLDFINGER” gave #ShirleyEaton international recognition for her character’s death being painted head to toe in gold paint, it led to an urban myth that Eaton had died during filming

Happy Birthday #ShirleyEaton

Amazing, a Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.

In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

Why does the media describe a regime murdering protesters as a ‘crackdown’, like they were just being soft with the rules previously, but have now run out of parience

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.
